I have always wanted to work for the big 4. Found the idea of working with different clients, travel and the learning experience to be exiting . Not sure if this is just in my head and the grass looks greener on the other side . I currently work in program mgmt at Apple and wanted to understand if anyone has made the switch from faang to consulting? Is the pay and lifestyle rewarding.

Any tips for a bank teller trying to move up in finance? Just recently finished school and got a diploma in Business Accounting who's thinking about getting a bookkeeper job if I can and if only entry level positions don't require 5+ yrs exp. Also considering a Financial Services Rep role. Any feedback on pay and what it's like working on either of the jobs? If there's a 3rd option anybody could suggest that would be wonderful.

Hi everyone, I need help choosing between two offers. First one is with GE Power on their FMP program, base of 70K + 5k sign on. Second one is with Raytheon Technologies on their FLDP, 70K base + 5K sign on as well. I don’t know how worried I should be about GE’s recent news of splitting. My long-term goal is to get a T25 MBA and go to Business Development/Corporate Strategy. I appreciate any help in advance!

Need Advice! Mid-tier Valuation Advisory to Banking? I have an offer from a midtier accounting firm (BDO, RSM, GT) for their Associate position in the Valuation Advisory team. I’m thinking to switch to the Advisory role, and to use this role as a stepping stone to break into banking, or if that’s not possible then go into Big4. However, will be getting 25% pay cut if I move. I’ve been working in Sales in a non-finance related field these past few months after finishing BBA in Finance & CFA L1.

When negotiating salary and being asked if you currently get a bonus, would you "lie" if it helps you to get paid more? Is this considered taboo and is there any way a potential employer could find out if you weren't truthful about your current salary/bonuses? Is it illegal if you were to accept an offer for that potential employer to question you about your previous companies pay structure?
